“I came along with my brother, spending N700 on transportation, to see Buhari and wave to him, but because I was born without limbs, I could not stand.

“He did not see me, but at least I came and celebrated his visit with the crowd. I welcomed him to my state, and so I am happy,” she told NAN.

Abubakar said although the financial expenses she incurred was ‘a colossal burden’ considering her poor background, she had fulfilled her dream of welcoming President Buhari to her state.
